Sure 'nuff. We had about 1/2" of ice on EVERYTHING in Naples, so we had the day off from school. By eleven it had all melted, so I spent the day going from hardware store to hardware store to get everything needed to build the field elements.

Well, except for FRP.

But anyway, back on topic, I think that freaking out too much over the slipperiness and trailer, instead of some level of 'going with the flow', will be at least as harmful to a team. Of course, figuring out what the appropriate level of freaking out about *anything* is always the main challenge of FIRST, isn't it?
